Mere external appearance or a person‟s speech or mannerisms are only fringes of one‟s personality. They do not reflect the real personality. Personality development in the real sense refers to deeper levels of a person.Developing Personal PotentialNishant SethWhat is character? Every action and thought of ours leaves an impression in our mind. These impressions determine how we behave at a given moment, how we respond to a given situation. The sum total of all our impressions is what determines our character. The past has determined the present. Even so the present - our present thoughts and actions - will shape our future. This is the key principle governing personality development.Developing Personal PotentialNishant SethPersonal Development:IntroductionWhat is Personal Development?Developing Greater Self AwarenessSetting Personal GoalsAcquiring New Skills and knowledgeDeveloping Personal PotentialNishant SethSelf Awareness Recognizing what emotions you are feeling and why Understand why you behave like you do Interpret other peoples behavior Being able to accurately asses your strengths and limitations Having self-confidenceDeveloping Personal PotentialNishant SethSelf Confidence Recognize that no-one is confident all the time, even though they may appear to be Avoid comparing yourself to other people.
